Listing Routes
Four paths to a US public listing
Each route has different cost, timeline, and dilution implications. Choose based on your company size, investor base, and urgency.
Traditional IPO
The classic path. Underwritten by SEC-registered investment banks. Best for companies with $50M+ market cap targeting Nasdaq or NYSE.
Best for: Companies with $50M–$500M+ target market cap
Direct Listing
No underwriter, no new shares. Existing shareholders sell directly on day one. Used by Spotify, Coinbase, Roblox.
Best for: Profitable companies with strong brand recognition
SPAC Merger
Merge with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (blank check company) already listed on an exchange.
Best for: Companies needing speed or certainty of valuation
Regulation A+
SEC-regulated mini-IPO raising up to $75M from the public, including retail investors. Lower cost than a full S-1.
Best for: Companies targeting $5M–$75M raises from broad public
